    Above & Beyond has released the aftermovie for the landmark performance at Madison Square Garden Oct. 18. A celebration of the 100th episode of their rebranded radio show "Group Therapy" and 550th episode overall, #ABGT100 was a six-hour extravaganza that featured three of their preferred label mates: Mat Zo, Andrew Bayer and ilan Bluestone. The aftermovie does not show many clips from the night because they recorded the video and audio for their set and put it online, but follows the trance super-trio in the lead-up to the actual show.We follow them as they go around New York, taking care of many different media engagements before ending up in Times Square at night, where they premiered the video for the lead single "We're All We Need" featuring Zoë Johnston from their upcoming artist album "We Are All We Need." The aftermovie includes a preview of a new song with Zoë Johnston made appropriately just for the occasion, titled "Fly to New York."

  • Jay Z Cleared from Lawsuit Regarding One-Syllable-Sample on "Run This Town" with Rihanna and Kanye West

    Jay Z is undefeated in court this week as a judge threw out the case from label TufAmerica that claims Jay Z and his crew used an illegal sample for its 2009 hit "Run This Town."

  • A Petition Has Been Filed by National Bar Association to Strip Darren Wilson of His Police Badge in Missouri

    About a week after learning that he would not be indicted for the Aug. 9 shooting death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, Darren Wilson ironed out the details and resigned from the Ferguson Police Department. Wilson agreed with the department that it is in everyone's best interest that he not serve and protect in Ferguson again.His being on the streets would only put him as well as other officers at risk. While it seems unlikely that Wilson will patrol anywhere again, he has still retained his badge — and that is something the National Bar Association is not happy about.The country's oldest and largest group of African-American attorneys and judges have filed a nine-page petition requesting that Wilson be completely stripped of his badge. The official petition is requesting that the Missouri Department of Public Safety revoke Wilson's badge. While under oath, Wilson insisted that during his altercation with Brown he had feared for his life, but some naysayers believe the officer got away with murder.

    Nicki Minaj has previewed "Big Daddy" from her upcoming highly anticipated artist album The Pinkprint featuring Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill. The "Anaconda" rapper decided to premiere the song on Power 99, a hip-hop radio station in Philadelphia. The decision to play the song on Philadelphia radio must have been influenced by Meek Mill's recent stint in jail and his release only a week ago. He was unable to play a homecoming gig recently due to his jail time, so this acts as small payback to his local fans

  • J. Cole Releases 'Apparently' Music Video [WATCH]

    J. Cole officially released his third artist album "2014 Forest Hills Drive" yesterday, Dec. 9. Though the album leaked last week, the full retrospective look into the "Fire Squad" is now available to all. He has released the music video for the 11th track on the album, titled "Apparently." Cole takes a more minimalistic approach to his video: Instead of bringing out nice cars and scantily dressed women, he kept with the down-to-earth and grounded theme of the album that focuses on family and his childhood, via "Complex."Cole keeps the personal theme of the album and the track in the video, rapping in front of grainy projections of home movies taken at his childhood home in Fayetteville, North Carolina, at 2014 Forest Hills Drive. It remains minimal with a small lighting fixture standing in for a chorus before Cole returns to his projector background of abstract imagery, similar to an iTunes visualizer.The first verse from "Apparently" hits home right away with Cole's theme of family and the home he grew up in:
